WALK — When You’ve Been Lost, Broken, and Still Choose to Go Home

WALK

A song about faith, regret, love, and finding your way home.

There are songs you listen to.

And then there are songs that find a piece of you that you’ve been carrying quietly for years.

“Walk” is one of those songs.

Performed by Byron Pelson and written by Emmitt Owens, this song isn’t trying to be bigger than life. It’s about something much harder: learning how to appreciate life after you’ve already been through it.

It’s about the person who has wandered.
The person who has numbed himself.

The person who remembers the roads he used to know, the places that felt like home, and the kind of peace he couldn’t appreciate until life had taken a few things away.

A slow creek.
Tall timber.
A front porch in the evening.
Good land.
Clean air.

A few people who know exactly who you are—and love you anyway.

And underneath all of it is faith.
Not polished, perfect faith.
The kind of faith that survives being broken.

“So let me walk along the ground,
carry joy and lay my burdens down,
feel it all before the twilight steals the flame.”


That’s the heart of “Walk.”
It’s not about pretending the past never happened.
It’s about walking forward with it.

If you’ve got a few minutes, don’t just listen to this one through your phone speaker while you’re scrolling.

Put your headphones on. Turn it up. Sit back.

Let the song take you somewhere.

And if it hits you somewhere you weren’t expecting—
share it with somebody who needs to hear it.

BUZZARD DUST

“Walk” is part of the Buzzard Dust collection—original music written by Emmitt Owens and brought to life through different performers and sounds.

This isn’t polished corporate music.
It’s independent.
It’s personal.
It’s music made because somebody had something to say.
And sometimes that’s enough.

If you’ve ever been lost…
If you’ve ever run from something.
If you’ve ever wished you could go back to the person you were before life got complicated.
If you’ve ever wanted nothing more than a little peace, a little faith, and somebody waiting on the porch—

“Walk” is for you.

Listen. Watch. Share.

And come find the rest of the Buzzard Dust story on YouTube.

The road is still there.
All you’ve got to do is walk.

    1. You’re welcome and a big thank you … walk was written as a poem and I decided to give it a voice months later. I’m so glad that I did.
